    "O"

    Failed scam attempt. I've worked for geeksquad for years. We never used "O" for 0. And we certainly never had a product called "CyberCore Shield - 48937" 😂

    What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS (refresh rate). ?

    For me, anything 25 FPS or higher is 100% fine and I'll be enjoying my time. I never play competitive online shooter games ever, though. All single player ones like GOW and the likes. I game on a 60 Hz 4k monitor. GPU is AMD RX 6600 alongside Ryzen 7 5700G and 32GB RAM. My games are set to meduim most of the time at 4k. Demanding titles are on low. Surprisingly, GOW and GOW Ragnarok are both set to ultra and I still get around 40ish FPS.

    Are we going through another scalping apocalypse?

    Are we? Seems like GPUs are not available on launch, or even after a long while. Scalpers are at it again. Should I not wait and look into the used market?

    What's the name of this font?

    I've tried all the "font detectors" online and none of them gave me the name of the actual font. They all looked kinda the same but they're not the same font. Could someone please identify it and let me know? Thank you in advance.
    EDIT: Here is the site where I found it. Please ignore the content. It's a long story

    How many times a day do you feed your cat

    Hi all, I'm kind of confused on this. My cat eats very slowly all day long. She'd go to her food bowl constantly throughout the day for a couple of bites and then back to whatever she does. I think we spoil her by making her food available at all times, my wife doesn't think so. She throws up here and there and I'm thinking because she eats too much. So, my question to you all is, how often do you feed your cat? Do you fill its bowl all day like me? Do you have specific times of the day where you give them a certain amount each time and nothing in between? I'm leaning towards doing the latter. Give her, let's say, half a cup in the morning and let her munch on it as much as she wants and the other half in the evening and nothing in between. She freaks out when her bowl is empty and starts crying and acting like she's about to die of starvation. Give her food, then she takes one bite and leaves. Bro, wtf. Lol. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Micro SD card suggestions

    Could anyone please suggest a good micro SD card that is reasonably priced and is great for the steam deck? You go to Amazon and you find a gazillion brand with many different prices. Plus all the horror stories I've seen online with all the fake storage people buy from Amazon. So, if you guys have a suggestion I'd really appreciate some links/names. I'm open for best buy and micro center and even Walmart if I needed to. I'm looking for a 1TB card and I don't care about the brand as long as it works well. Thank you all in advance.

    How do I use old saves I downloaded from steam cloud so I can get my game progress back?

    Hi all, I played the shadow of the tombs raider back in August and got to about 25% of it. Today I wanted to play it and thought I'd be able to just continue, but I was wrong. First, steam was saying the game was "out of sync" so I clicked it and it said it was "up to date". Launched the game and it's almost from scratch, like 1 %, so me panik. Looked into the saved data files and they have all these .dat files with one that is a cloud one. Looked online and found a post where someone said I can download my old saves and add them to the folder. Sure enough, downloaded the .dat files for the correct date, but they have reaaaaally long names that have the paths to where they were saved then at the end of each name was the correct name (blahblahblahlinuxsomethingsave206.dat for example). Tried two ways,

    One: removed the existing .dat files and replaced them with the ones I downloaded (with their long names)and launched the game. Same thing. I was watching the new ones get created and

    The "delete" confirmation popup is abnormally large

    I have the permanently delete option enabled on the right click menu, and every time I want to delete something, this is how large it shows up.

    . Is there a way to make it smaller? This is unnecessarily large for a window with very little functionality. Is this a bug that I should report?

    Even gamers nexus' Steve today said that they're about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It's happening, y'all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

    Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn't precisely say they're starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    Is it possible to use iGPU for VM passthrough and dGPU for the host?

    Hi all,
    I have all AMD and I wanted to try and set the integrated GPU for passthrough for VMs and leave the discrete one for my daily use. Is this doable? If so, how complicated would it be?

    How to make both monitors have the same scaling for SDDM

    So, I just had to reinstall my system and I'm now going through setting things up and SDDM was too tiny since I have two monitors that are 4k. So I set a hidpi.conf file in /etc/sddm.conf.d and put this in it

    [General]

    GreeterEnvironment=QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.5,QT_FONT_DPI=192

    [Wayland]

    EnableHiDPI=true

    [X11]

    EnableHiDPI=true

    But now only the primary monitor is set to 1.5 scaling, and the other one is still set to 2. I also applied the sddm settings from the settings app and still the same results. Anyone knows how to make them both same scaling?

    Thank you

    Lost Internet after an update

    Ethernet plugged in but there is no internet. I have no idea what happened. I just took a normal update like I always do and after that it was all gone. WiFi connects no problem, but there is no internet. Unplugged Ethernet and replugged it back in. Nothing. I dualboot with windows, internet works fine there, so there is no hardware issue. Went into a live environment and chrooted into it and reinstalled network manager and still not a fucking thing. Not sure what these are now. I know about the lo one, but never seen the second wired connection or the virbr0. Any idea how to get my Internet back? I really don't want to reinstall the system because of this. And btw, I even tried a hotspot from my phone and a wire tether from it and still no internet.
    System is endeavour OS with KDE on Wayland.

    Can Torvalds pull a "I'm taking my toys and going home"?

    Can he? What would he be able to take and leave? What would that do to Linux?
    This question has been on my mind for a long time, but never got around to asking it.

    Swappiness is set to 10 and the swap usage is still high

    Not sure why that is, but I have 32 GB of RAM and I would like my system to utilize it as much as possible, but as you can see in the screenshot, the system is only using 5.66 GB of the physical RAM, but swap is still being used in a high number. Is this normal? Should I lower the swappiness to lower than 10? Should I let it be? Thanks

    How to get the official Breeze theme for SDDM

    I have deleted my Breeze theme for SDDM (don't ask me how and why. lol) and I can't find it anywhere. I have tried sudo pacman -S plasma-workspace, but it is not getting installed. Any other way to install it?

    Why does/should it take at least 5 steps to add a widget?

    I just noticed today that if I needed to add a new widget to my desktop/panel, I had to right click on the desktop/panel, enter edit mode/show panel configuration, click on "add or manage widgets, click on "Get new" then click on "download new plasma widget" THEN the store opens then I searched for the widget I needed. Then you are in this limbo state where the desktop is in edit mode, but you can still type into the store. Then if I wanted to add that widget to my desktop, I'd have to go back to the "add or manage widgets" and click it again and then find the new widget. Why so many steps to add one thing? Or I can go into Discover to look for it, install it and then repeat most of those steps I already mentioned. Am I the only one? I can't be, can I?

    Question about Pika backup

    Hi all,
    I have a smaller nvme for my root and home partitions, and I wanted to upgrade to a 1TB. I have several drives on my machine and have been backing up in different ways. One way is I just copied all of my home folder and pasted it on one of the drives. Another way is I copied that folder to my NAS. I also have Pika backup setup to do automatic backups daily to one of the drives. My question is, how do I go about the process of restoring my backup with Pika? Do I reinstall the whole system, install Pika, point it at its old backup folder and have it restore? If so, what does it actually restore? Does it originally back up apps, their data and whatever I have in my home folder, then it restores all of that to the new system? Or does it only back my config files and home folder? Sorry if this is an obvious and dumb question, but I really don't want to do things from scratch since I've had this same install for a long time and I've set it up the way I like it.
